Description

Currently setting the sound output only changes the user's settings. This has no effect in the other activities and no effect on the menu of activities. It would not be possible to play a sound while booting either, if the sound output does not default to the good one.

Therefore we should modify the set-alsa-output script so that it modifies the global ALSA settings instead, which will require root privileges. Global setting then has to be recorded in a persistent place, ie. /home/etc/.

As indicated in the following page, it seems we just need to run set-alsa-output as root and make it write its result in /etc/asound.conf instead of $HOME/.asoundrc:

We now have to use hardware signatures to keep tuning persistent across machines.
